The Challenge of Unstructured Information

Reliable engineering data and documentation are critical for effective project execution and the safe, efficient operation of plants. However, EPCs (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) and owner-operators often face challenges managing vast amounts of unstructured and unmanaged information, such as documents, drawings, lists, and datasheets that exist in various formats and locations.

A significant portion of unstructured information exists within most organizations, leading to substantial time spent by plant personnel searching for and validating information. Many employees lack confidence in their ability to locate the information needed for emergency responses, which can impact safety.

Our Approach

During the P&ID Metadata Indexing Service and quality control (QC) process, SPGS engineers manually review each drawing and document to capture and validate project-specific data, according to client requirements. When documentation is incomplete, our engineers utilize their expertise to interpret the available information based on legends or related contents.

The SPGS team meticulously checks document contents and employs human intelligence to analyze data, ensuring that minimum indexing requirements are met. We also utilize in-house developed data validation applications to analyze and validate the captured data. Our service offers a fast, accurate, and cost-effective solution for regaining control over unstructured content, allowing users to establish links, extract insights, and apply structure to their documents and drawings.

Indexed outputs are prepared according to the client’s template, enabling immediate integration into their systems.

Supporting EPCs and Owner-Operators

EPCs often contend with overwhelming volumes of unstructured information during revamp projects. SPGS assists EPCs in managing the influx of documents from subcontractors and suppliers, enabling rapid organization into structured handover packages with tag-to-document cross-references. Our services support EPCs in creating data that complies with owner-operator data handover guidelines.
